Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery, unusually 瘦 thin instead of his fat usual self. To bulk up, he is using a 叟 blender in the bathroom to blend some 疒 snot together with croissants to create a caloric mixture that'll make him less 瘦 thin. He drinks it and it is so nasty he just throws it up, making him more 瘦 thin.
